THE .tfrst lady of the land" snobbery re-
ceived cold chill from the Peoria Journal,
which recalls that Cave johnson, of Tennes-
see, was once Vice. president of this Republic.
His wife a mulatto of undoubted and
unquestionable descent. She was the mis-
tress of his house and bore him chidren.
If the President had died and Cave johnson
had succeeded to the Office of chief executive
we should then have had a negress at the head
of society, entitled to respect as the First
lady in the land" If not, why not?-News.
The sentiment is very well, but the argu-
ment is faulty. Cave Johnson, of Tennessee,
was never Vice-president. The man referred
to is Richard NJ. johnson, of Kentucky, the
"slayer Of Tecumseh," according to some
accounts. He was not married to colored
woman, though he lived with one, and recog
nized her children and educated them. She
was not the mistress of his house." SO far as
Washington City was concerned, for he never
took her there, and, altogether, there was
never any danger of her becoming the first
lady of the land" Anyway why should not
colored woman be the first lady of the
land" if first in other respectsP

make an irresistible combination. Under
the impulse of their joint operation there can
be no doubt as to the future of Indianapolis.
In view Of the present outlook, it is safe to
predict that the manufacturing interests of
the city will have doubled in the next ten
years. The census statistics of 1890 will
show large and healthy growth. but those of
the year 1900 will reveal tremendous devel-
opment. The city is about to enter upon
new career of prosperity, in which its natural

THE FUTURE OF INDIANAPOLIS.

Somebody said the other day he was tired
of hearing of the advantages of indianapolis
as distributing point. Perhaps so. In olden
times some Atheniars grew tired of hearing
Aristides called ''the just" But their weari-
ness did not alter the fact, nor does it in the
modern case. The advantages of Indianapolis
as distributing point are very real, very
important and a very vital factor in the
growth and prosperity Of the city. They
havelcontributed largely to its growth in the
past, and are destined to figure quite as
largely in its future progress. They are a
solid fact, and have come here to stay. The
location of the city in the very heart of the
continent, almost at the very geographical
center, with its lines of trade and inter COM
munication radiatipg and ramifying in all
directions, on the highway between the
oceans, and in the middle ground between the
great East and the greater West-these con-
ditions make solid. commercial fact
of great Importance that cannot be
wiped out, obscured or belittled. Neither
blood nor fire can change it. It cannot
be affected by the channels Of trade or the
movements of population. In fact these
will only increase its significance AS long
as the union of the States continues, Indian
apolis, as the central city of a central State,
surrounded for great distance in all direc-
tons by vast and constantly increasing pop
ulation, must retain its pre-emin ent advan-
tages as a distributing point. This means
that the city must inevitably become great
manufacturing center. That is its manifest
destiny. The population of Indiana has in
creased from 685, 500 in 1910 to !, 97S, 30I in
1880. 1t is now over 100000, and by the
next census will be quarter of a million
more. AS grows Indiana so will grow Indian
apolis. The present population of the city
is considerably over 100000. In less than
ten years it will be 100, 900. Within a gen.
Grafton it will be quarter Of a million. The
child is born who will see it with population
of 500. 000 These predictions are within
reasonable bounds. The population of the
will increase in an equal ratio but Indianapolis
will hold its relative position. During these
years of growth manufacturing viii become
its principal industry and the cornerstone of
its prosperity. There can be no doubt of
this. The geographical location of the city,
and its advantages as distributing point,
would, even under ordinary circumstances,
insure a great growth in this direction. but
RI sunnlement and augment these comes nat

is an assured fact and we shall have it at
rates that will give the city the widest and

OUR LIVE STOCK TRADE.

A short time ago. in speaking of our stock
yard facilities and the advantages of Indian
apolis as livestock market. we referred to
the discriminating rates made from Western
points against the city in favor of Chicago.
Since then the inequality has been removed,
and Indianapolis now has the same rates as
Chicago from all Western points. This re-
moves serious drawback to the growth of
the livestock trade at this point, and ought
to be followed by material increase of that
branch of business. No city in the West is
better situated for the business or has better
facilities for handling it than this city. It is
nearer to the great stock producing sections
of the country than Chicago is and nearer
also to the Eastern market. In other words
it is more advantageously situated for both
seller and buyer Our stockyards are unsur-
passed by any in the West, and our market in
most lines of stock is equal to any. The
central location of this city, midway between
producer aud consumer, makes it a natural
and convenient market for both, while the
present rates and admirable facilities for
uduulluS, StoCh ouESItp IL properly uuOerStoou,
to attract large amount of new business. In
fact. the business is growing in a very salts
factory manner. During last week, ending
Nov. 5, there were received at the stock
yards 1,61s carloads of stock. against 734 car
loads during the corresponding week of last
year, an increase of more than one hundred
per cent. We are also informed that several
large buyers of hogs who have never patron
lied this market before will do so this season.
These facts indicate that our advantages of
situation, stockyard facilities, and good
points as a livestock market are being recog-
nized by shippers and buyers. In this as in
other respects there never better time
to boom the city than the present, and every
person interested in it's prosperity ought to
assist in making its advantages known. The
more they are advertised the more they will
be recognized and appreciated.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Herald
who is doing the Anarch list business In Chi
cago for that paper, has this to say about the
convict Louis Lingg:
''The appearance of this man is remarkable.
Tall, erect, of splendid physique, with broad
shoulders. with long. powerful arms, thin
hips and TANKS, he paced the stone flags for
few minutes with lengthy strides, which sug-
gested the movements of tiger watching for
a moment to spring on his prey. Lingg is
fearfully handsome. Fearfully I say-yes.
Fraught with danger is his extreme type of
manly beauty to and men alike.
Scarcely is it a wonder that young women
flock to the Jail to gaze on the fierce Commun-
list and to tender him presents as tokens of
their sentimental regard or interest. His
face is as beautiful as that of statue by
Praxiteles. Delicate features, straight
nose, perfect mouth. high, broad white

A DIsGRACEFUL STAMPEDE.

IF there were any discrimination or dignity
shown in the present movement for the COM
mutation of the sentences of the convicted
dynamite murderers it would not be so dis
graceful. As the Journal has repeatedly said,
it may be that the Governor shall discover,
on a careful review, that there are sufficient
differences in the relative guilt of the men to
mute some of the sentences. But there is
not the slightest discrimination made. All
the sentences are to be committed, irrespective
of evidence or law, merely on the demand of
sentimentalists and of towards, who fear that
law is not strong enough to cope with muir
derers and their friends. The spectacle now
to be seen all over the country, eliminating
in Springfield, where it is proposed to
make grand demonstration on Wednes-
day for the purpose of influencing
Governor Oglesby, is disgraceful to hu-
mainly and to American citizenship.
Much more effective even than the hanging
of the men, would be the appearance of solid
public sentiment for the maintenance of law,
and for preserving the orderly aud dignifed
processes of justice. Let the cases of the con-
demned men go to the Governor on their
merits, quietly and decently. There is no
doubt that he would give them careful
and honest consideration, without all the
clamor that is being raised about his
Then the result, whatever it might be, would
be triumph of law. But as it is, with public
sentiment stampeded by cowardice and senti-
mentalism, the victory is likely to be with the
Anarchists and anarchy, even though the
sentence of the law be finally carried out.
The present condition of public sentiment,
especially in Chicago, is disgrace to law and
to citizenship.

GOVERNOR OGLEsBY's grim silence is a
course with the Anarchists. He certainly is
under no obligation to step between the con-
victs and the penalty of the law they have
defed and outraged. It is to be hoped that
he will recognize that society has rights as
well as the enemies of society, and that MUIR
der is crime even though committed under
